"He’s unexpectedly the one Pu elder was talking about!" Ting Lanyue’s mind jolted. She stared blankly at the man in the air controlling thunder to stretch across the sky, his hands holding thunderbolts. He looked like a divinity from the legends who possessed mastery over thunder and lightning.

In the Teaching Pavilion, when elder sir Pu said that only one person obtained his true legacy, every disciple had thought he was talking about themselves. Especially Ting Lanyue who defeated everyone else and impressed the crowd, making them think she was the one Pu elder was talking about.

The only one Ting Lanyue didn’t compete with was Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue looked clumsy to the extreme when he was practicing the Surging Thunder Sword. Back then Ting Lanyue couldn’t see the peculiarity of Zhong Yue’s sword art either, and because of that she thought she was the one who obtained elder Pu’s true teachings as well.

But now Ting Lanyue could see Zhong Yue in the air visualize thunderbolts, borrowing their power and flying across the sky. The sky rumbled and the spring thunder exploded when he used the Surging Thunder Sword. Only now did she realize that only this kind of Surging Thunder Sword could be called the real inheritance!

Spring thunder expelling the winter, thunder illuminating the world!

Zhong Yue’s Surging Thunder Sword was greatly different from Pu elder’s Surging Thunder Sword when it came to style. A thunder tree fell with a "Zi Zi Cha Cha", entirely consisting of surging thunder sword qi. There was originally no such move in the Secrets of the Surging Thunder Sword. But Ting Lanyue could see from this technique the same bearing as from Pu elder.

What was true legacy?

Only this was true legacy!

Even the most similar imitation was only an imitation, white true legacy was comprehending the quintessential grace and bearing, transforming the master’s teachings into your own knowledge, thoroughly understanding the entirety of the subject, and not being bounded by any shape or form!

However, the thing that shocked Ting Lanyue the most wasn’t Zhong Yue’s Surging Thunder Sword but Sovereign Sui’s transparent image behind his body. This was the Sovereign Sui’s form he had shaped and condensed with his mind power.

With a single look from afar, Ting Lanyue could sense from it an oppressive majesty that seemed without limits. It seemed to be able to crush the sky and subjugate everything!

"Isn’t he a bit too daring though?"

Ting Lanyue’s heart was beating wildly: "This mutant aberration has inborn totem patterns surrounding his body, is it so easy to fight against him?"

She was still very far from Zhong Yue. She saw the mutant demon underneath flip his arms upwards and transform into dazzling blade light, the totem lines under his skin becoming brighter and brighter. With a malevolent face he unexpectedly leaped toward the thunder light and pounced in the air toward Zhong Yue like a flash, not dodging nor hiding, boundlessly overbearing as he charged forward!

Kacha!

A thunder tree struck the mutant aberration and tore up his flesh. The broken muscles and skin were charred in an appalling sight of destruction.

Ting Lanyue silently cried within her heart: "Not good!" The Surging Thunder Sword was extremely effective against the kind of demon races like the aberrations, but that was only against ordinary aberrations. Ordinary aberrations had a bone cover around their heart that couldn’t be pierced with blades, but they could be smoothly killed once you turned thunderbolts into sword lights and ran them through.

But the mutant aberration was different. His whole skeleton, including the bones surrounding the heart, was replaced by incomparably pure dark iron. The thunderbolts were channeled by the dark iron across the entirety of the metallic skeleton and couldn’t damage the heart!

Not only the heart, even his brain couldn’t be harmed. The mutant aberration’s brain was protected by the surrounding dark iron skull and the Surging Thunder Sword had absolutely no way of penetrating inside!

Zhong Yue’s Surging Thunder Sword possessed a power that was many times greater compared to Ting Lan Yue, but it still was no threat to the mutant aberration’s life.

Ting Lanyue’s vision traveled across the image behind Zhong Yue’s back, then to the thunder tree sword light visualized by Zhong Yue’s mind power. She understood clearly that the greater the might of his Surging Thunder Sword, the faster his mind power would be consumed!

With this kind of consumption Zhong Yue couldn’t last long before his mind power became exhausted!

If his minder power became exhausted, killing him would be like a stroll in the park for the mutant aberration!

"It’s very dangerous for brother apprentice Zhong to use the Surging Thunder Sword to fight against the mutant aberration!"

Sure enough, although the mutant aberration was struck by the thunder tree, his momentum didn’t diminish in the slightest, and in the next moment he closed in under Zhong Yue’s feet. The glint of a blade that was extremely sharp slashed toward Zhong Yue in a dazzle!

At this moment, with a "Zi La" the thunder light under Zhong Yue’s feet scattered in every direction, moving over a hundred feet away from his body and avoiding the mutant aberration’s two sickle blades.

Kacha!

Another thunder tree struck out and pounded down on the aberration’s body. The aberration’s skin and muscles all over his body exploded under this thunderstrike and he couldn’t help but drop down towards the ground.

It was also difficult for Zhong Yue to keep riding the thunder and cross the sky. His stature also dropped down while he crisscrossed his arms and sent thunder trees one after another striking down at the demon’s body.

Ting Lanyue dashed forward, thinking: "Brother apprentice Zhong only recently joined the upper yard after all, he hasn’t experienced too many battles and his fighting awareness is weak. Using such mind consuming methods, I’m afraid he doesn’t have much mind power left. I hope I can save him in time…"

Boom, boom.

A man and a demon fell on the ground one behind the other, followed by the sound of thunderclaps and the aberration’s roar. Then came the sound of collision, the earth shook, and rubble flew off everywhere!

The place where Zhong Yue and the mutant aberration landed was a mountain col, and Tian Lanyue couldn’t see the fighting scene anymore despite her eagerness. She could only see Sovereign Sui’s image formed by Zhong Yue’s mind power move at great speed. It must have been Zhong Yue moving non-stop during his battle against the mutant.

"It will be much harder for brother apprentice Zhong on the ground. The demon can’t fly so it’s possible to repress it in the air, but once back on the ground the mutant demon’s speed will become incomparably shocking. With brother apprentice Zhong’s speed it’s impossible to avoid the demon’s offensive…"

As soon as she thought of this, the Sovereign Sui shaped by Zhong Yue’s mind power suddenly leaped up high. Zhong Yue’s body followed closely behind as it flew out of the mountain col like a meteor. It seemed like he had been heavily hit!

Ting Lanyue’s heart sank when she took in this scene. Zhong Yue flying out of the mountain col clearly meant that he had taken a heavy blow from the demon and was sent flying!

The mutant aberration possessed a strength of several dozen thousand pounds, he could crush Zhong Yue to pieces with ease!

As she quickly rushed forward, she saw Zhong Yue stagger after landing on the ground. He kept stepping back as he tried to dissolve the demon’s strength, and didn’t seem as heavily damaged as she had first imagined.

Instead, there were thunderbolt totems blazing with enormous intensity around Zhong Yue’s body. Those mind-shaped thunderbolt totems merged together, and melted into a thunder Jiao dragon coiling around his body!

"Jiao Dragon Totem Body Coiling Secrets?"

Ting Lanyue closed in at flying speed while her heart was stunned once more: "He used this body cultivation method and merged it with the Surging Thunder Sword Pu elder passed on. He borrowed the thunderbolts’ power to strengthen his body’s might, no wonder he could take a hit from the demon and still survive…"

She only realized now that when Pu elder said Zhong Yue obtained his true legacy, he wasn’t exaggerating in the least. Not only Zhong Yue comprehended the Surging Thunder Sword’s quintessence, he even deduced a way to combine the Surging Thunder Sword with his body cultivation method!

At the same time, the aberration demon also jumped out of the mountain col and pounced straight at Zhong Yue with horrifying momentum, his roar shaking the sky.

However, Ting Lanyue could see that this mutant aberration was covered in blood, and his speed and strength were both much lower than before. His strength was at least lowered half and it didn’t give off the sensation that it couldn’t be matched anymore.

His skin was flayed clean by the many thunder trees Zhong Yue had sent striking at him earlier, and the blood and muscles underneath were left exposed. The aberration totem patterns on his skin were all completely destroyed!

"That’s right, it was for the sake of ruining the mutant demon’s totem lines that brother apprentice Zhong used all those thunder trees and consumed such a great amount of mind power!"

Ting Lanyue suddenly understood. In this short period of time Zhong Yue had given her wave after wave of surprise and delight, repeatedly impacting her state of mind.

Now she realized that Zhong Yue wasn’t just blindly attacking with thunder trees and consuming his mind power earlier. His goal was to weaken the demon by ruining the totem patterns!

"Brother apprentice Zhong Yue has a frighteningly powerful battle awareness, he totally doesn’t look like a newbie who’s just come to the upper yard!"

Ting Lanyue quicky closed in while Zhong Yue and the aberration demon continued their fight. Man and demon clashed. The aberration pressed on step by step by savagely moving his two sickle blades in unrestrained slashes. This demon was sixteen or seventeen feet tall, and even the blades on his arms were seven or eight feet long. They were made from pure dark iron and incomparably sharp, disdaining the world and filling men with awe and shock!

Meanwhile Zhong Yue was continuously retreating backward. A Jiao dragon made of thunder light wrapped around his body, but when he pointed a finger forth, the thunder light around his body scattered and became thunder swords charging at the aberration demon!

Man and demon both attacked with scary speed. Even during Ting Lanyue’s flying-speed approach, they exchanged over a hundred bouts, and Zhong Yue was almost cut dead a few times.

Suddenly Zhong Yue had no time to dodge and was sent flying by a kick from the demon. The aberration demon leaped up and followed closely behind him, lifting his two big sickle blades and slashing at Zhong Yue while still in mid-air!

Ting Lanyue almost screamed in alarm. At that time man and demon collided in mid-air and thunder light burst out, the rays shining so bright that she couldn’t see what was happening anymore. She only saw Zhong Yue and the demon drop down from the air when the thunder light dispersed, their body smashing down not far away from her.

Ting Lanyue hurried to catch up. Zhong Yue stood up staggeringly. The Sovereign Sui’s image behind him had collapsed, and the thunder Jiao dragon coiling around his body was also scattering away. The demon lay on the ground, fresh blood pooling around him, having breathed his last.

"Dead?"

Ting Lanyue stared, and had trouble believing what she was seeing as she looked over the aberration demon’s corpse. On his chest, the bone cover made of dark iron had a tiny hole on it, and his heart had been run through by Zhong Yue’s Surging Thunder Sword. His blood had entirely flowed out as he died!

"The Surging Thunder Sword’s thunderbolts get absorbed by the dark iron bone cover and the power disperses along the whole skeleton. They can’t harm the heart, how did brother apprentice Zhong pierce this dark iron bone cover?"

Understanding suddenly lit up in Ting Lanyue’s thoughts like a spark, and she realized the whole story: "He repeatedly stabbed the same spot on the demon’s chest over a hundred times earlier, and used the thunder’s high temperature to melt a small hole in the dark iron bone cover, then pierced through the heart with his last strike!"

By creatively applying the Surging Thunder Sword, he ruined the mutant aberration demon’s totem patterns, punctured the dark iron bone cover with a hundred thunder sword stabs, and finally pierced the heart. Ting Lanyue’s soul was stirred and her heart shaken by this fight, and she saw Zhong Yue in a whole new light.

"This little girl witnessed your Sovereign Sui visualization, you have to kill her."

Xin Huo suddenly said in a quiet voice inside Zhong Yue’s sea of consciousness: "Otherwise if this spreads out it won’t be good for you. You’re extremely weak right now but you possess supreme skills, it’ll certainly attract other people’s greed!"

Zhong Yue jumped in fright: "Kill sister apprentice Ting?"

"You can also let her live."

Xin Huo said bewitchingly: "Push her down and copulate with her, boil the raw rice into well cooked rice. Make her dead-set on you, this way she won’t gossip and let the matter spread out."

"Copulate?"

Zhong Yue’s face became black and he secretly looked at Ting Lanyue. Tian Lanyue couldn’t be more than a few months older than him. She was also around fifteen to sixteen, but her body had already matured to perfection. She carried a formidable and valiant air, and her undulating figure was very tempting.

Tian Lanyue saw him watch her with something strange passing through his eyes, and understood without being told. She said unflinchingly: "Apprentice brother Zhong is worried I’ll spread out the rumor you’re cultivating other cultivation methods? You can be greatly reassured, although our Sword Sect nominally prohibits disciples from practicing cultivation techniques from other races, but many Qi Refining Warriors from the older generations have cultivated such methods anyway. There are many disciples who also do the same thing, no need to worry."

Zhong Yue breathed in relief and smiled: "Sister apprentice, please don’t spread this out."

Tian Lanyue nodded: "I’m not one to run my mouth off, I won’t gossip."

"I still think it’s safer to kill or copulate."

Xin Huo continued to bewitch him inside his sea of consciousness: "I can keep the lookout, you just do your thing!"

Zhong Yue pretended he didn’t hear anything.

In case it wasn’t clear enough, push her down is slang for sex. It can even imply dominance or forcefulness. The rice cooking is also metaphor for sex. #askmeaboutsexslang.com
